[QUOTE="Chawlston, post: 184909"] You know the barrel is bad. If it monkeyed around and shot good or marginal a little bit and then would not shoot for whatever reason, that would drive you crazy. Now you know the barrel is suspect and needs replacing. My big question is why did the gunsmith not notice this (tooling marks) prior to him chambering the barrel and thus preventing a return for a replacement barrel? I have had good luck with both K & P as well as Hart in the 338 tubes. The one that I did not particularly like was the Douglas as it was very finnicky and I had to go to Moly to get the barrel to shoot. However, when it was finally tuned, it shot well. Douglas just gave too many problems. I understand your pain. Chawslton [/QUOTE]
